Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesB+ FutureB+
Quarterback settled, Maye in the fold, and a B+ for the Commanders.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Commanders were there to profit. Kris Abrams-Draine, the No. 120 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick No. 181. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

Drake Maye gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. The Gore Jr. pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up.

Job largely done: tight end settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In pick 2 they get a long-term answer under center at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
Olumuyiwa Fashanu at the 36th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick40 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
They will replay Amarius Mims at pick 40 for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick67 Rnd3 Zach Frazier
A straight-up fair deal on Zach Frazier at the 67th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick100 Rnd3 Darius Robinson
A big swing on Darius Robinson at pick No. 100, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick141 Rnd5 Frank Gore Jr.
Value said wait; Frank Gore Jr. in the 141st pick says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick181 Rnd6 Kris Abrams-Draine
Circle this one: Kris Abrams-Draine at slot 181 is a fall that decides a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick223 Rnd7 Jared Wiley
Taking Jared Wiley in the Round 7 slot is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
